Pioneers and Odyssey classes are part of the Illinois State Board of Education (ISBE) Preschool For All Program and are available to eligible students per ISBE guidelines.
These classes are mixed age groups that focus on children’s language development, social skills, foundational academic skills, and motor skills. Language arts, math, science and social studies knowledge are developed through direct experiences and hands-on activities in age-appropriate ways.
Children follow classroom routines and learn cooperation skills. Playing and experimenting with materials in their environment, children gain independence, learn how to interact with peers and teachers, enhance creativity, and develop critical thinking skills.
